The Hops

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Winner for best Indie Rock song on Ourstage.com in February of 2012 for "The Walk"

Appeared on PBS show Studio A, filmed at Southern Illinois University for the Midwest region.


Rock group The Hops released a digital 4-song EP in 2009, but their new album, Won’t It Be Fun, is effectively the band’s debut. And it’s a release that, as they suggest, takes listeners on a “genre ride”—with influences that range from funk to indie to jazz to acoustic to alternative and back again. Won’t It Be Fun was produced by Ian Spudes of Gravity Studios with the help of Doug McBride (Veruca Salt, Fall Out Boy, Badly Drawn Boy).
